I have read the staff report. Although the Chief of Police notes the high number of calls for service for illegal <br />fireworks, he fails to show any direct linkage between the sale of legal fireworks and the discharge of illegal <br />fireworks. In fact, it is actually noted that cities that have banned the sale of safe and sane fireworks still have <br />issues with illegal fireworks. The only clear benefit I see noted by Chief Rojas is that it is easier for responding <br />officers to determine whether fireworks are legal or illegal because all of them are illegal. I would hate to think <br />that as a city we would consider taking away citizens freedoms by banning the use of a legal product for the <br />salve of making it a little easier determining who is using illegal fireworks. <br />Please do not punish law abiding residents of our great city for the illegal actions of a few. Keep legal <br />fireworks legal in Santa Ana. <br />Thank you, <br />David Hastie <br />2517 N Spurgeon Street <br />Santa Ana, CA 92706 <br />
